Abstract
Hands-on laboratory practices are a crucial component of control education. However, delivering this type of practices to distance education students poses significant challenges. This article presents a solution that utilises a low-cost experimental kit that is shipped to students’ homes. The kit, developed and used during an Erasmus+ project for a wide variety of engineering practices, is complemented with the necessary components to perform experiments related to control engineering concepts; in particular, building an analogue PID controller and using it to control a motor. The effectiveness of the kit is evaluated through a small study involving distance education students. The results indicate that the kit is a viable solution for delivering some hands-on laboratory practices in control engineering.
